On lemmy.world I posted a comment on how liberals use ‘tankie’ as an invective to shut down dialogue and received tons of hateful replies. I tried to respond in a rational way to each. Someone’s said ‘get educated’ I responded ‘Im reading Norman Finkelstein’s I’ll burn that bridge when I get there’ and tried to keep it civil.

They deleted every comment I made and banned me. Proving my point, they just want to shut down dialogue. Freedom of speech doesn’t existing in those ‘totalitarian’ countries right? But in our ‘enlightened’ western countries we just delete you.

    But the question about sending tanks is important because with this we could weed out nazi enablers.

      Sure, because there is only black and white. Either you choose violence in every scenario or u are Nazi lover.

      Flawless logic.

        So this means you would not send the tanks?

        The nazis will now put all non-nazis in hungary into concentration camps.

        Nazi enabler.

        Edit: You could have avoided most of the violence (that the nazis will inflict on innocent people now) by sending the tanks.

          I said there are other options. You think invading countries or doing nothing are only two options?

          To add a valuable point: i would not send tanks, as i dont have any. Itas a pitty, but they are quite expensive. Like most working class members I can’t afford one. Damm capitalists keep raising taxes and prices
